Upcoming Events
(CANCELLED) Bioinformatics: Variant Calling
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
This series of workshops is intended for anyone using bioinformatics softwares on the UNITY high-performance computing platform. Over the course of three sessions, participants will explore softwares available on UNITY to preprocess sequencing data before analysis, perform sequence assembly and variant calling. Each workshop will include a demonstration on how to use these tools efficiently.

Introduction to Unity
This monthly workshop walks participants through getting started on Unity, a high-performance computing cluster hosted at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center and available to URI researchers. Geared toward new users, the session covers requesting and setting up a Unity account, connecting to the cluster over SSH, navigating the filesystem and understanding storage and permissions, loading software modules, and submitting and monitoring jobs with SLURM. Attendees will also learn where to find documentation and how to reach the Research Computing team for further help. While the material is aimed at newcomers, the session is adapted to the experience level of those attending, so returning users are welcome to bring specific questions about their own workflows.
